If one thing is clear, fans are ready for Battlefield 6 to return to a modern setting . It's been nearly 5 years now since players got a modern entry, with the franchise spending half a decade in WW1 and WW2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was praised for its return to modern times when it released back in 2019, and its larger-scale mode Ground War helped fill the hole left by Battlefield's jaunt to the p
The Aftermath expansion served as a mixture of both styles, introducing unique weapons like the crossbow and giving all classes a special design — capturing the feeling that players were fighting in the back half of a war. The End Game expansion rounded out the DLC by focusing on new features like motorcycles, giving Battlefield fans entirely different experiences to keep playing post-launch. Battlefield 6 continuing the free DLC plan of Battlefield 5 would be great, but there's no reason that content can't be shaped into certain themes again. Adopting a system like the content seasons in Call of Duty , DICE could deliver periods of content aimed at all playsty
In an investors call (via VentureBeat ), EA CFO Blake Jorgensen confirmed that the new Battlefield will be revealed this spring and began to tease the potential for the title. It's unclear whether or not the game will come to Xbox One and PS4 but it is confirmed to release on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. According to Jorgensen, Battlefield 6 will “ mark a return to all-out military warfare .” He continued by talking about the scale of the new shooter. “ The game takes full advantage of the power of next-generation platforms to bring massive, immersive battles to life with more players than ever before. Featuring maps with unprecedented scale, the next edition of Battlefield takes all the destruction, player agency, vehicle and weapon combat that the franchise is known for and elevates it to another level. The team is focused and the game is ahead of our internal milestones. We’ll reveal the game in the spring, and deliver a defining Battlefield experience for our players in the 2021 holiday season ,” said Jorgen
While not all of the criticism was in good faith, Battlefield 5 was marred in controversy at launch. A lot of that controversy was levied at the game's attempt to represent real-world demographics more accurately, but there were plenty of valid gameplay criticisms directed at Battlefield 5's design decisions. Some of those have been fixed since the game launched, but others still need to be addressed in the next en
Need for Speed 's biennial release schedule has put the franchise into a perpetual state of fatigue that it hasn't managed to escape since 2011. This most recent delay will be the first time in almost a decade where Need for Speed won't follow its typical release schedule of every two years. Of course, this can primarily be attributed to Battlefield 's development necessitating additional support. However, extra time between Need for Speed entries can only benefit the next installment, despite being delayed into 2022. Need for Speed needs time to marinate and adjust the franchise, largely by looking back on past failures and learning from what was lack
Rumors suggest Battlefield 6 could take players back to the modern-day setting , which has been notably absent since Battlefield 4 in 2013. The last two entries in the series, Battlefield 1 and V , have taken players back in time to both World War I and II respectively. After V failed to make a notable impression, it's likely EA is going to try and win back its audience by going back to the modern day setting. Both Battlefield 3 and 4 thrived in their modern day settings, offering high levels of destruction with collapsible skyscrapers and all-out warfare with helicopters, jets, tanks, and more. With EA calling specific attention to its return of “all-out military warfare” it seems to indicate the modern day setting is return
While DICE supposedly has big ideas for Battlefield 6 , not everything needs to be new and ambitious. Battlefield 3 boasted features that worked incredibly well, with the game's take on the “Rush” mode being one of them. Tasking one team with the defense of two M-COM stations, and the other team's goal being destroy the two stations, the mode was simple enough. Attacking players had a limited number of lives or “tickets,” and if the team on defense wiped them out, the match would be o
The new Battlefield will be the first in the series since Battlefield V in 2018, which was a bit of a mess. The World War II shooter was buggy and had a lackluster battle royale mode to try and compete with other games, all of which led to DICE pulling support on Battlefield V __ less than two years after its launch. Needless to say, it left a bad taste in peoples' mouths. It seems like DICE has taken its time to try and make things right with Battlefield
While it may not be the case anymore, Battlefield 2042 Beginner guide was once regarded as the “realistic” first-person shooter of the two franchises, and with games like Escape From Tarkov maintaining their popularity, it's clear that there's still a demand for realistic shooters. Battlefield doesn't need to capture the same feeling, and the control scheme required for Escape From Tarkov's level of control simply isn't possible with a controller, but giving players the same feeling of tactical engagements and realistic gunplay is a key factor h
